We are proud to host Dennis Banks, Native American leader and co-founder of the American Indian Movement (A.I.M.), to speak and present the documentary "A Good Day to Die." From the Anishnabe nation and born in Leech Lake Reservation, Minnesota, Dennis led historic struggles for the civil and human rights of Native American people, beginning in 1968. This stunning and compelling film presents an intimate look at Dennis Banks' life beginning with his early experience in racist boarding schools, his military service in Japan, his transformative experience in Stillwater State Prison and subsequent founding of a movement that, through confrontational actions in Washington DC, South Dakota and Wounded Knee, changed the lives of American Indians.

BLACK PANTHERS & AIM & MALCOLM SHABAZZ
Godd efforts assaulted for truly good cause...for as it rains it pours...upon two states....covering two shores...
Back in Pennsylvania I delivered a message intended to incite DRAMA...having read my flier, black women would EXCLAIM "This better not be about MY President...Obama "
so much deception that who would ever figga.....that Barry obama be but the bankers Nigga !!!!
after they comprehended"Frank Marshall Davis" was in fact obama's dad....and that's not ALL.....that unlike all former white presidents that "Pardoned" their white thieving friends from prison...please keep in ming this be one more reason to be ARISEN....is that this so- called black president seems more than hesitant to release MUMIA ABU JAMAL.....WHO by the age of 15 was writing for the Black Panthers on the East Coast......EVER WONDER as to how and why they allowed a Black DeathRow Inmate to have an audience as a Radio Host ??>??
whose purpose does Jamal's public speeches actually serve you may ask ????? Is anyone TODAY really taking ACTIONS....to TASK
All things considered the Black Panthers did hard work and many good things.....but never the Great General Strike for which freedom's Spirit Sings.....
ABSOLUTELY they were being actively genocided in a most lethal game....so finally erupted from a system corrupted the Warriors of AIM......after having survived a true Trial by Fire...Warriors Arisen to help take us Higher....for both in their ways have shown this nation under a spell....the Warrior I speak of by one John Trudell...a Singer a Dancer and Spiritual Romancer ...Who knows there be but ONE WAY to terminate social cancer.....the 2nd Warrior brother to whom be deserved thanks...Be the long Distance Warrior known as Dennis Banks....
Dennis Banks has worked with young Warriors all colors and Creeds.....he's led them across this nation...they camped amongst the reeds....they both know very well LOSS and so too 'bout PRISON.....and both know damn well that the Youth must be ARISEN....
...SO HERE WE NOW STAND IN A NATION WITH UNCOUNTABLE LAWS....so fearful of ONE Vegan Warrior named Malcolm Shabazz...a heavy Spiritual Warrior murdered by age 28.....who Spiritually surpassed his grandfather (Malcolm X) and MLKing that so too sealed his Fate.......murdered in Mexico for seeking to unite workers both brown and black......now these two American colors sent to murder and die in IRAQ......
